The remote job submission interface
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/RemoteJobs
has grown by accretion and has some redundancy and ambiguity:
- a job's rsc_fpops_est can be specified either directly or as part of its input template.
- if rsc_fpops_est is specified directly it's used to estimate batch resource usage but doesn't make it into the WU DB record.
- input file descriptors and command line can be specified directly or as part of the input template.
- the doc doesn't say what takes precedent of what
Proposal: get rid of the rsc_fpops_est, command_line, and input_files attributes of "job". If you want to set any of these, pass them in an input template (which includes all of them). Per-job templates have precedence over batch-level templates.
